history

Tambon Samnak Takhrau was originally part of the Tambon Pan Chana in the Amphoe Dan Khun Thot . On April 1, 1995, the " Branch Circle " ( King Amphoe ) Samnak Takhrau was founded from the Tambon Samnak Takhrau, Nong Waeng and Bueng Prue. Following a suggestion from Luang Pho Khun, a monk of Wat Ban Rai, the government changed the name to Theparak.

On May 15, 2007 the Thai government decided to raise all 81 King Amphoe to simple amphoe status in order to unify the administration. With the publication in the Royal Gazette "Issue 124 chapter 46" on August 24, 2007 this decision officially entered into force.
